When investing in solar panels, it’s crucial to understand the different types of warranties that safeguard your system’s performance and longevity. WINAICO offers some of the most comprehensive warranties in the industry, providing both a performance warranty that together protect your system for up to 30 years.
What is a Performance Warranty?
While a product warranty covers the physical integrity of your panels, the performance warranty guarantees the energy output over time. Solar panels naturally degrade as they age, producing slightly less electricity each year. However, WINAICO’s performance warranty ensures that you continue to receive significant power generation for up to 30 years.
The recently launched NGX Bifacial range of panels takes performance guarantees to a new level, offering a warranty that beats the industry standard. For these panels, WINAICO guarantees:
- A maximum 1% power drop in the first year.
- A 0.4% degradation rate each year for the following 29 years.
- After 30 years, the power output is guaranteed to generate at least 87.4% of the specified power output.
A performance warranty provides crucial long-term assurance, ensuring that your solar panels will deliver consistent energy output throughout their lifespan. This type of warranty is particularly important because it protects against the natural degradation that all solar panels experience over time. With WINAICO’s performance warranty, you’re guaranteed a specific level of energy generation each year, allowing you to accurately predict your system’s long-term financial and energy savings. This stability is essential for both homeowners and businesses looking to optimise their return on investment. In short, a performance warranty not only safeguards your panels but also secures the economic benefits of your solar system.
Why Australian Consumer Law Matters
One issue that some solar buyers face is that many overseas manufacturers’ warranties don’t comply with Australian Consumer Law. This can be a problem if your panels don’t perform as expected, and you are left trying to chase down an overseas company for replacements or remuneration.
WINAICO is proudly backed by an Australian entity, ensuring that all warranties comply with local laws. This provides you with an extra layer of protection, knowing your warranty is enforceable and that WINAICO will be here to support you for the long haul.
Complementary Insurance for Extra Protection
In addition to the product and performance warranties, all WINAICO modules come with a complimentary 2-year insurance policy, which covers unforeseen damage and service interruptions. This insurance can be extended up to 5 years for added peace of mind.
Conclusion: Long-Term Protection for Your Investment
Investing in solar energy is a long-term commitment, and WINAICO’s comprehensive warranties ensure that your system performs as expected for decades. With a robust performance warranty, legal protection under Australian law, and complimentary insurance, you can trust WINAICO to safeguard your solar investment and deliver reliable energy for years to come.
